just getting ready to install a new water pump on my '89 Century (3.3l), but need the torque value for the mounting bolts.


Any ideas?


thanks

 

i have replaces my water pump but never torqued the bolts just made sure they were ultra tight without stripping but i looked up the torque specs in my service manual and there are 8 bolts total the big ones are torqued at39 N.m (29 LBS. FT) and the 4 smaller ones are 11 N.m (97 LBS IN) i am not sure how to read the standard 97 IN and29 Ft but i just commbied it exactally out of the book hope it helps
